^^ i hated to work out high. i dont know why, but i wouldnt push myself as hard as i did sober.

since when i leave the gym im usually super fuckin tired, especially if it was a day when i ran or jump roped to near failure i would almost feel high without smoking. so when i got home i would always spark a couple bowls and hit up the volcano, and get ridiculously high.

Bud stops that stuff from getting into your muscles that makes them kind of hurt and feel fatigued during reps so your muscles don't feel as tired during the workout (for some reason I can't think of the name for it). It also helps the blood flow into the muscles better.

I prefer to smoke after the workout because I usually do a lot of cardio after lifting and I don't really like smoking right before I do some cardio.

A new study by Dr. Robert Block at the University of
Iowa disputes the commonly held notion that marijuana alters
the level of testosterone and other sex hormones.
The study contradicted a widely publicized 1974 study
by Dr. R.C. Kolodony, which reported decreased testosterone
levels in men who smoked marijuana chronically.
The U. of Iowa study found that chronic marijuana use
had no effect on testosterone, luteinizing hormone, follicle
stimulating hormone, prolactin and cortisol in men or women.
Noting that six other studies had failed to show
lowered testosterone levels in men, Dr. Block concluded: "It
appears that marijuana, even heavy use of the kind that's
typical in the United States, doesn't alter testosterone levels."
However, he cautioned that heavy use might have other
adverse effects, including "possible effects on reproductive
function and mild, selective cognitive impairments associated
with heavy, chronic use."
Block's study is published in Drug and Alcohol
Dependence, Vol. 28: 121-8 (1991).

That being said, get a vaporizer. I've read that they decrease 95% of smoke-related health problems. Since having a vaporizer I have noticed an extremely positive difference in my health and vocal quality!!! A must-have for athletes and musicians who love green acres and their health and performance.
